I am
coming to Clearwater with my two friends and would like to know if
you know of any good bars and clubs we can go
to?
For
bars/clubs, it depends upon what you like. Clearwater Beach and our
area has a laid-back beach scene - live music, very casual dress
overlooking the beaches and the Gulf. Lot of people but a very
relaxed scene. You might want to try Frenchy's Rockaway Grill,
Tropix Island Tiki Bar or Palm Pavillion. A lot of the under 30
year olds from this area go to Ybor City on the east side of Tampa for
a more faster-paced atmosphere. If you can, check out
a Thursday edition of the St. Petersburg Times paper. It includes a
"Weekend" edition listing all the events, clubs and entertainment for
the Clearwater/St. Pete/Tampa area. Also, the Weekly Planet -
Tampa www.weeklyplanet.com/current (an alternative free newspaper
for this area) has lots of info to help
you decide.
We are looking for a place to
have dinner for about 50. Maybe looking to spend $15-$20 a
piece. The type of place we are interested is a non-chain, local
type of place where we can have "Local" fare. Seafood?
College baseball team and families coaches etc.
Thanks.
Your request is an easy one!
Contact either Frenchy's or Cooters on Clearwater Beach. Casual,
good food and specializing in fresh seafood. For Greek and Italian,
Post corner Pizza ( not just pizza) and Gondolier are both regulars for me.
Where is the best shrimp deal
in the Clearwater area?
It all depends on what you mean
by 'deal". Frenchy's & Cooters Restaurants on Clearwater
Beach are known for their steamed peel and eat shrimp. Hot or
cold. Shells will be opening soon and have a wide variety of seafood
and shrimp dishes. Most of the restaurants in the area feature shrimp,
and in particular fresh Florida pink shrimp. I hope this is of
some help.
We have just moved to Sand Key,
Belleaire Beach and would like to know of any good eat in (but
not buffet-type) Chinese restaurants located in this area. The two that we liked have closed - one was in the Publix shopping center
on Clearwater Largo Road, and the other was at the Shoppes at
Sand Key. Thanks
One of our favorites is Ivory
Coast on 580. Did you know Sand Key is actually Clearwater, not
Bellaire? There are some great Thai restaurants in the area as well. Thai
Coconut on Missouri and Chang Mai, downtown Clearwater. For
some other great places to dine we suggest you visit www.beachchamber.com
and check out the listings there. Bon
Appetit
I am celebrating a special
anniversary and would like to know where to go for a romantic
dinner. Maybe a candlelight setting ?
Two favorites come to mind, The
Clearwater Beach Hotel has a great dining room. You can watch the
sunset as you enjoy a fabulous meal! Tuxedo clad waiters, and very classy
and romantic. The adjacent lounge has entertainment. As
this hotel is due to be torn down in May, it may be your
only opportunity to savor it. Heilmans on Clearwater Beach, has
candlelite, and great piano music while you dine. The food
is superb and they even have their own wines. Happy
Anniversary!!
